About

This page documents ongoing tests of the gtk-2-24 branch on Windows.
These observations have been obtained from building that branch at the time of commit 7c9f317b64aff73d34c61269680535a51b256ad3 and executing all demo's from the gtk-demo.exe program and all test programs from the tests directory.
An experimental GTK+ bundle can be found here. Note that this is for testing purposes only!
These tests have been executed on a Windows XP machine with:
- the MS-Windows GTK+ theme with the default XP Luna Windows theme (XP Luna)
- the MS-Windows GTK+ theme with the default XP Classic Windows theme (XP Classic)
- the default GTK+ theme (Raleigh)
These test have been executed on a 7 machine with:
- the MS-Windows GTK+ theme with the default Aero Windows theme (7 Aero)
- the MS-Windows GTK+ theme with the default Classic Windows theme (7 Classic)
Problems observed to only manifest with a specific theme (XP Luna, XP Classic, 7 Aero, 7 Classic or Raleigh) have been marked as such. Generic problems do not have a theme marker. This might be a first indication of where a possible bug might live, the win32 GDK backend or the libwimp theme engine.
Console output (warnings, assertions, etc) is only listed when relevant (crashes for example).

Remarks

screenshots on this page suffer from a GTK+ bug: the 3 pixel columns on the left should be on the right, luckily this only affects the window decoration -> this was fixed in bug 631384
not a single menu test seems to use separators, so examine tests/testactions.exe instead
it would be helpful to integrate into Windows' recent documents (AddMRUStringW, CreateMRUListW, EnumMRUListW, FreeMRUList) instead of clobbering the user's home directory (My Documents) with a .recently-used file; or if not possible store it into the user's profile directory (Documents and Settings) where all other GTK+ data files are already stored.

(XP Luna) type some text in the Entry and hit the Find button: embedded progressbar not themed: seems to fall back to Raleigh
(XP Classic) embedded progressbar uses wrong color: seems to fall back to Raleigh

(XP Luna) Editable Cells: embedded progressbar not themed
(XP Classic) worth noting that unlike progressbars embedded in an entry widget, cellrendererprogress actually uses the correct colors

(XP Classic) dropdownbutton for active combobox has a black border, is this normal?

application/x-rootwindow-drop DnD seems broken
popup DnD seems broken (none of the 9 buttons accept the drop?)
AlexLarsson: They seem to work the same as on X here

broken in exciting ways, (a) activates the Super+A button, A doesn't activate Button 2, etc

(XP Luna) the button representing hidden buttons looks weird when active as both the button itself and the chevrons are rendered as buttons
